Just announced, and demoing at Gen Con, Asmodee’s new version of Citadels be updated and expanded, containing twenty-seven characters and thirty unique districts. Coming out in Q4 of this year, the new version of Bruno Faidutti’s classic will retail for $29.99
I’m ashamed to say I’ve never played the original. I’m going to make sure I rectify that when the new version hit stores. Everything about this new edition is looking great, and if it follows in the footsteps of other Windrider releases, I’m sure it will be.
Asmodee is launching a new game design studio, Windrider Games, which the company describes as “dedicated to developing and producing an array of fun, engaging games for players of all ages… games [ranging] from reimagined versions of classic Eurogames to entirely new and innovative designs.” While that doesn’t really narrow the field much, Windrider’s first three titles are Knizia classics taken from the Fantasy Flight Games portfolio: Samurai, Tigris & Euphrates, and Ra.
The first two are currently available and the last, Ra, is scheduled to hit retail in the third quarter.
